Memorial Garden

The Memorial Garden was created to honor our "brave warriors" who are no longer with us. We wish to thank their parents for sharing the stories of their precious children, and making them a part of our lives. We hope that you will find comfort in knowing that these beloved children will always be remembered, and will live in our hearts forever.

Bailey Christine Cross 11/27/98 - 12/3/98

From the second Bailey was born, she taught her proud parents what the word "strong" means. Bailey graced us with her temper, determination, and strength. She was a very feisty little girl. She fought her entire six days for life - for us. It was our turn to be strong for our "Bailey girl", and allow her to be in the presence of God. Bailey Christine is loved and missed each day. We will never forget the birth and the life of our precious angel. "We love you and miss you Bailey, until we meet again".

Love,
Your Mom, Dad, and brother Zach

Devon Ray Coon 3/23/97- 3/24/97

Our Precious Angel, after an uncomplicated pregnancy, was born weighing 9 pounds, 2ounces. He was apneic and pulseless. I thank God every day for the wonderful doctors at our local hospital. They got Devon's heart beating, and he was stabilized for the trip to the Children's Hospital. Not long after arriving there, we were told that Devon had Transposition of the Great Vessels. He died during the initial surgery to correct this.

Although our baby was with us for a very short time, he made a large impact in our lives, and he will be missed until the day we see him again. Devon, know that mommy, daddy and your brother and sister miss and love you very very much. You'll be forever on our minds and in our hearts!

Charles Richardson Samuel Fields 12/1/98 - 5/4/99

Sammy as we called him was a sweet little baby, not really a care in the world. Such a warming smile. He passed away from a rare heart defect called Shone's Complex. He will be greatly missed. He was my angel here on earth, and now, he is my angel in heaven.

Wyatt Johnathan Darrin Prince 11/13/97 - 4/11/98

In loving memory of our "little warrior". You will always be in our hearts.
Love Daddy, Mommy and Sissy

Benjamin Allen Brand 10/4/97 - 10/7/97

Our first child, Ben, was diagnosed with HLHS about 5 hours after he was born. Ben looked just perfect and beautiful on the outside, but inside, his heart was not perfect. He was flown to a different hospital where he stayed until the day he died (three days later). Ben also had pulmonary stenosis in addition to his HLHS, so they were to perform a heart cath on 10/7/97 to open the valve. After complications from a catheterization, Benjamin fought and fought, but they finally gave up resuscitation. Thirty minutes later, after all efforts had stopped, he started breathing on his own again! Our miracle! But by then, he had been through enough, and we let him go. We were able to hold him as he took his last breaths, for which I am ever grateful.

The three days that we had with our son Benjamin were some of the best of our lives!

Marc Alan Fusilier 3/5/91-7/23/91

Marc Alan was born full term on March 5, 1991, and soon after birth, we learned of his fate. Our precious little boy lived with only 2 full chambers to his heart and severly under-developed pulmonary arteries. Marc lived 4 1/2 months, all except 6 weeks were spent in the NICU and PICU.

He was a true fighter and gave us many wonderful memories. He is missed every day by his sisters and mom and dad. Marc touched many lives in his brief life, and even in death, his memory lives on.
